Argentina

I visited Argentina for an hour or two in 2009, when I popped over the border from Brazil at the Iguazu Falls, and saw many Brazilian Cavies and Coatis plus some Brown Capuchins. I visited again, for a week of work and mammals, in June 2017 and spent a weekend in Entre Ríos province. And I was back in September 2018 to spend 3 days on the Valdes Peninsula.

I spent a night here in 2018, and saw a Large Hairy Armadillo, Coypu, European Hares, Patagonian Hog-nosed Skunks and a Grey Leaf-eared Mouse.

The Valdes Peninsula

Patagonian Mara, Dolichotis patagonum

I spent two nights on the beautiful peninsula in 2018 and saw Larger Hairy Armadillos, European Hares, Southern Mountain Cavys, Patagonian Maras, South American Sea-Lions, Southern Elephant Seals, Humboldt’s Hog-nosed Skunks, Southern Right Whales and many many Guanacos.

I spent a couple of nights in the lovely El Palmar National Park and saw Lesser Grisons, Geoffroy’s Cats, a Six-Banded Armadillo, Plains Viscacha, Crab-eating and Pampas Foxes, Capybara and Grey Brocket Deer plus introduced Chital. All these species seem quite common in the park, even the grisons!
